Summary
The incidence of penetrating neck trauma is reported to be approximately 1–5% of all traumatic injuries. Innocuous-appearing neck injuries have the potential to cause either immediate or delayed life-threatening injuries and complications. Penetrating neck injuries are generally described according to the zones of the neck. This helps to define the potentially injured structures and allows for a common nomenclature.
